DotA Utilities

Dota 6.64 Map - Dota Allstars 6.64 Map. IceFrog has recently releasedDota 6.64 with a lots of heroes balancing and few item changes. Basically Dota v6.64 was focused on balancing and tweaking as IceFrog said. You can download Dota 6.64 and read changelogs of it.- We hope that Dota-Allstars v6.64 map will be balanced map. Enjoy this release.

Axe is really weak now.. even heart is useless when he will call as it it wont regen. His battlehunger is a NOOB skill and is pretty useless against good players. Phase boots gave him armour but now phase is also useless fr his tanking. Axe has THE WORST DAMAGE ADD-UP after MID GAME.. where as EVERY OTHER HERO in dota can kill in late game.

Icefrog can atleast DO A LITTLE JUSTICE TO AXE.. he has POOR MS, AS and is USELESS with heart in late game as it wnt regenerate his hp in a CALL. PLEASE i request you from my heart to be fair with axe.

You can atleast dump his hunger for a better passive skill like lifesteal or evasion and make helix to trigger less against creeps but more against heroes. In this way AXE wnt farm imba nor would he be a noob hero from mid-game.

Heart was good item before you made changes you should give it back like it was before 1% hp reg and lasting while in combat here in 5v5 they focus tank and melt him down instantly before it was difrent : /

Does none support me that ICEFROG has effectively made AXE very weak and almost useless due to the changes.

I request you guys to make ICEFROG aware of this blatant mistake[through your posts here and elsewhere if possible] as AXE is one of the HEROES that made us hooked to DOTA. Now AXe cannot tank even with heart and then his MS,AS is abysmal. Icefrog should DO JUSTICE with AXE and nt make him a useless EXTINCT hero :(

is it possible the runes' spots change from being fixed in the two spots to any random spots e.g sent's jungle, side-shop, waterfall etc. This will make more adventures around the map. I leave my thought, it was just my suggestion. =D

My opinion is to make an item which increase range....an other item that you can gain 20% more exp form creeps and it costs 500 gold....its fair enough i think...Heart of Tarasque shoulb be like old one..Because its a useless recipe....Its better to have to vlaguars..And plz.....NEWHEROES...

(an other item that you can gain 20% more exp form creeps and it costs 500 gold.) this is a stupid suggestion dun listen to this suggestion.. and i think phase boots should change back to the old type like add 20 damage and +3 armor for more balance abit..?

It's kinda useless to change items constantly especially when its only 2 of the items over & over why not take a break from items & make some new heros & if possible make some of the epically overpowered heros more balanced while buffing some heros that need to be stronger to be played effectively i mean common you are all clearly blind to the massive power differences in some heros that should be WAY buffed its kinda sad items are the last thing you should worry about for now but i think im done for now

I really love the new power threads! They are cheaper and give more MS... Cool! Phase boots are useless as always... Heart became a useless item too, shouldnt be like this... Out of combat regen?! NOT COOL!

i need 1 think,if u can do it,that will be great:Dfirst,i need an item for ranger heros,like meele hero have an item with splash dmg,i suggest that ranged heros have an item that shoot multipla arrows,the recipe,i dont know

eaglehorn(3200)claymore(1400)quarterstaff(900)yasha(2250)Recipe(none)

+25dmg,+25agility,+25atk.spd,+20speed.But the important note is,dont stack with medusas split arrows :D ty and maybe improve my items,but make one item like this,bause we need one like this,ty very much for your understand and bye.

hey I told I liked those new boots, but maybe these suggestions may change your mind:

Power Treads:-Boots of Speed-Belt/Robe/Elvenskin-Chain Armor-Recipe (none)

+70ms+5arm+10 str/int/agi

Phase Boots:-Boots of Speed-Claws of Attack-Gloves of Haste-Recipe (none)

+60ms+30as+12/10dmg -Phase

and now about axe. yeah it's really true that axe's now almost useless, but I don't think he is that much a shit without tarrasque's regen of life. if this may help you:-Strength gain per level review-Berserker's Call review (like improved area of effect and armor bonus duration)

A kick ability for host as to stop feeders and flamers. keep phase but change power treads so they are useful again. New hero would be Awesome. Heart does suck now and is compared to treads in how both are useless. Maybe change Rosh into something else to fit with how Ancient he is and maybe put him in a new place where there are guardians blocking him so the team has to work to get to him instead of someone solo.

dont u think u guys r going a little too hard in icefrog? hes doing the best he can to balance this game so the least u guys could probably do is tell him nicely u want something changed and not diss any of his work like "I HATE THE NEW PB AND PT" or "THE NEW HEART SUXXXX"

please complain in a good manner for icefrog is working OMGWTFBBQHAXROFLPWNED hard with all his maps..

well... just again: slow down guys! the things aren't critical, right? and I agree perfectly with Jon.

-I've got axe on a random game recently and I saw those changes you guys, specially sid, were complaiming about. Yes, he's now powerless and battle hunger is really the worst skill in DotA, but... it isn't so bad as you think. Axe's really NOT the worst hero, and this depends more on the player than the hero itself. Axe works OK with a vanguard or two, a pipe, travel, dagger, shivas, dagon, blade mail and such other itens like mkb. But yes, I agree that axe deserves a little review.

-no changes for roshan... but it would be funnier if he looks like more ancient ;D

-new hero? do what you want, man, we can't force you to make a new hero, that's ridiculous.

-phase boots: atk dmg, atk spd and phase are still great changes.

-treads: the bonus for stats... well, it's kindda unjust I guess (10str, 13agi, 16int?), but the movespeed bonus is ok and it should gives armor bonus, as I commented on a post before.

there are lots of heroes in old version of dota called FUN TAVERN (-fun)remember this mode ... maybe u should add this heroes and new taverns in the game and balance their skills and stats cause their way to strong .. and bring the old power threads back and make 2 kinds of phase boots recipe one for attacking and the old one for defense... so players have to choose between the two phase boots if they want phase boots for attack or defense ...

The changes are bad...OldEr PT and PB are better.. .I like the new heart coz rich tanker still could be easier beaten. .. Can you imagine how hard to kill the tanker wid the old heart that had already been too imba?I dont agree axe become useless, I think axe is a very tanker hero with the old heart, so the new heart will weaken the imba axe...

PLS...cr8 new heroes or get a hero from fun tavern in old versions..and y dont every1 notice that ursa is so imba w/ 25 dmg per hit and his bonus attacks speed w/ his 2nd skill so pls icefrog try to make ursa ah balanced hero.....tyvm if u agree to my suggestion.....pls do my suggestion icefrog

i really dont think that axe being nerfed is a bad thing because he was a rather overpowered hero before, while a lot of you may think axe sucks now he definately does not, the problem for you guys is that you are not using teamwork, me and my pals often do axe avernus darkseer combo which is extremely good even with these changes

PLS...cr8 new heroes or get a hero from fun tavern in old versions..and y dont every1 notice that ursa is so imba w/ 25 dmg per hit and his bonus attacks speed w/ his 2nd skill so pls icefrog try to make ursa ah balanced hero.....tyvm if u agree to my suggestion.....pls do my suggestion icefrog

-actually there might be some heroes which you THINK are imba but in reality they arent.. u just have to find ways on how to counter that.. for example, against ursa, u could try not to stay close to him as much as possible so that u wont get killed by the E-V-R (hotkeys) combo.. or u could simply just gank him

anyways they are no imba heroes in DotA.. if there were, icefrog would have probably removed them versions ago... you can counter any hero - all you have to do is think outside the box

*invoker (sun strike) - bigger AoE and damage during the day? you know, for syncing

*ghost scepter / decrepify - you can only attack ghost or decreped units if you are also on ghost or decreped

*make all heroes that use scepter look cooler when u buy them aghanims

*the old heart truly was better ^^

*if the old heart isnt coming back, at least make the new one a little cheaper

*after killing roshan the first time, make the next roshan spawn a new looking roshan with a different name.. stronger and harder to kill that even ursa couldnt take on him 1v1.. still the same item drops but drops 2 aegises but you can only carry one so you have to give the other one to a teammate or something

*make more juke spots lol

again these are just suggestions.. please dont go too hard on me as i am not good with suggesting ^^

>>A NEW ITEM<<it would really be grat if u make an item a recipe for something like b-furry, but instead of meele heroes make it for ranged only so it would be like b-furry, but when u shoot one (arrow) at one (creep) that aroow to do as damage as your normal dmg, but also shoot arrows around the selected target in the area as the b-furri makes the splash, with the equall reduced damage as its reduced from the b-furry.Make it as expensive as the b-furry or little bit more, or i dont know, but not too much expensive not to be fun to get it. ( idont know how to be the name, you chose it)TNX..

please, return phase and treads to the old ones, for instance:like drow with power thread have increase as. now if give her phase boots phasing a FA and the phase is gone. please return to old phase and treads. new one sucks. heart also. if 2% always very good but....... must be out of combat. AYOYOYOYOYO!!!!!!!!!!!!! please....... heart use to be a very good itemnow it is crap. all strength hero will cry especially heroes like axe, huskar, treant. now heart is not good for them anymore. if can, change razor ulti into hit weak hero only

I just want to say thank you for all your hard work, IceFrog, half these nubs don't even deserve the chance to post a comment to you.. Thanks for dealing with all these idiots and still working to make a wonderful game!

i think u can increase more thing in dota 6.64 exp:like can use the money to buy the bonus step . when all hero full item the money too many n no place to use so can use money to buy the step to power up them self n the mose IMPORTANT thing is increase the item slot of the hero because the slot oni 6 slot is very not enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yo icefrog can u make a new hero and name him hercules. abilities: toughness aura, KO punch 250 damage 2.5 sec stun, Punch ground 200 damage and slow for 4 secs and ulti superman punch 1 sec stun in a line and 600 damage at lvl 3. nice work

I think icefrog just want to make a better dota...more competitive and more strategic game with all of the changes..not just go fight and bang-bang-bang...with the new heart, now u must use the moment...not use the 1% Hp regen

well plz 1 request plz fix invoker remade him n give him new powers idk what but gave him new powers n make him as it is other heroes (lyk 4 powers n ultimate on lvl 6 instead of lvl 4) plz do think abt it. And also the lag thing when piking invioker

i don't mind the changes of phase boots and power treads.it's just that the changes of power treads make players don;t buy power tread anymore.and heart and bloodstone.the changes of bloodstone makes some int hero like death prophet and necro cant be tanker anymore.hope icefrog can change it to the previous version of it.

what if they made a rune of extraordinary sight which reveals the whole map ...and another one for max attack speed it will be funny and cool too , new heart sucks..new axe without boots of travel and M'jolnir SuCkS like shit...the changes in power treads and Phase boots should come back like it was hmm ..the new manta style is not bad but (not being orb) but i loved the old one ....[[I ALSO ASK MR.KUNKKA TO CHANGE THE LOADING PIC ....]]akasha's SOO SExXxYyyy........ adiiimooon ... 3am el sha3b

@you another guys: bring back PT, remove boots changes, axe's a thrash, tarrasque suck's, new hero, totally ridiculous ideas and bla bla bla. you guys should think about the DotA's purpose to post here. as I say, asking Icefrog to make a new hero is such ridiculous. plus, think about your suggestions, because if you think Icefrog is doin' wrong, you better stop drinkin' n' smokin' every time, 'cus he created the most played warcraft III map on whole entire world. and YOUR ideas really sucks. some ideas like a multishot item would be a cleave for ranged and ignoring the originality of gorgon. others like improving TOTALLY BALANCED heroes like anub'arak, morphling, or others mentioned... let's just think this way:-I am a dota player and I want you to change luna's range so she can attack from far instead of nearer and improve her ult to 5 or 6 max nº of beams because "that's not enought for me. I only know how to play with her and I want to win all games with her so I want you to IMBA her."-I want ya to modify nerub's 3rd skill so he can avoid atacks "just because, on his name, it's written assassin. and again, I want to win every game with the new IMBA-HERO I only knows how to fight."-I want you to make a hero who has tatata skills that makes nanana "because this would be really good FOR ME." oh, and I'm ignoring your way to make things work and your ideas.

c'mon guys, think about you say before saying any shit.

off course I do think some ideas would really work, like improving sun strike on daylight and weaking it afternoon... but the great majory here need some "dota classes". maybe.

-Axe's not shit;-Tarrasque doesn't need change and not all strenght heroes will become thrash because of it;-PT is good (suggestions on other posts by me);-PB is good (suggestions on other posts by me);-Don't need new itens to become funny again, as such as new heroes. why don't you just master your skills on other heroes and builds?-MOST IMPORTANT: do not write here your own ideas that only you agree with. this would surely make dota's harmony simply fall down to hell.

hey, think about new strategies as me, i've thinking about axe without tarrasque and ursa with tarrasque. ursa still getting more power and axe still tanking, but how'bout a little more agressive itens for him? should work...

How about put a new hero and try to make roshan more difficult to kill....maybe roshan's dmg is in 140 - 150 or something like that......Then put roshan's bash even better to bash ....owh..and its Health...make it HIGH! and lastly put a new item.......

btw IF my suggestion would be uhmm more runes perhaps?!?! more neutral creeps(prob diff ones), more heroes(keep on adding em!!), possibly change the map so theres 4 routes for competitive reasons instead of the normal 3, add another secret shop(lol), make buying item easier for eg. just purchase the recipe for the total item which makes it easier than to buy core items needed etc. lol im a mouthful

u idiots Axe is for noobs and the fact that hes early game mid game and late game can be seen so IF take the liberty of downgrading him u noobs groww up and figure out your builds and stop whining geez respect IF and u respect dotA

i can't create 6.63b even if i already switch to 1.24 patch.In the old patch 6.23 it keep saying me everytime i create 6.63b "the map is to big select a different map" but when i switch to 1.24 patch no error message appear but it can't create. when i choose 6.63b map and click create it just go back to the create join window and didn't create the selected map which is 6.63b(sorry for the bad english) I hope someone can help me co'z i really want to play the new map(6.63b)even 6.63 i can't create same problem as 6.63b

I think it's time to stop changeing prices and recepies, and start making some REAL changes... How bout new heros? new skills? more modes? stronger creeps... im sure the maker has tons of knowledge to achieve this...PLEASE take this seriously...

Hello. I think it would be so good if u replace new tarrasque by the old one, coz now it's useless for some heros, like Axe mb. Or, mb U could do hp regen gain in the battle only =) And plz... Could u reduce eluna's arrow cooldown?

(request and suggestions only)pls rework techies,..his skills are to weak for the late game,..and because of gem,ward and dust,it could be easily defeat him,..i think if made him a bomb that cant be seen by the items orother skill for him,..techies is balanced in early game but if theres gem or the other items,hes other skill is useles even if theres team work,it is not sure that techies could stand a chance to other heroes,..maybe if the 3rd skill of techies will be its ulti,it would be ok,and the damage of it will be equal to his life,its suicide so it myt be more better if its equal to his life,..or make it a chaos damage if you wont change it like my request,..techies is a powerful hero but wont stand a chance in other heroes without or with team work in late games,..only items make him powerful but not his skill,..

ahm,..i suggest that the dagger would be better if it gave stat something like +5 agi or make it more cheaper,..

sorry for the bad englishby the way,i wont mind youre changes in items,it will make the game more hard and chalenging,..you've done a good job,..

OMG . AHAHHHHHH , Axe was IMBA b4 with 2xvanguard and hart u can fdream on killing him , and u all was Cuming while playing him coz all u had to do is run in ppl and press 1 skill, and now when Icafrog Fixed that U all CRY coz U cant anymore Play axe with pizza in one hand , and other hand on your dick.

OMG NOW U CAN KILL AXE 5v1 ??!?! WTF HOW ?

Yes! Now u must PLAY DotA when U get axe , and not only watch how ppl die trying to kill u 5v1 with tower .I am sick of U axe-noobs. ICEFROG THIS MADE GREAT CHANGES. TAnd about that Boots u all cry , They will fix it in 6.64 probably dont worry.

I suggest a new command lika -random.. -random is like -ar .. so if the mode is ap and someone wants -ar he types -random.. New command if someone want -sd?? I suggest you this.. ta crete a command like -sd in -ap mode... So all mode in -ap ...

Stout shield is too cheap now. Only cost 250 gold.An Axe can buy 2 stout shield and tango in the early game and then when he combo with healer like warlock, he is too gay..Another 1 is heart is too noob now, with no regen when battle, making axe imba in early game and so noob in late game.

AXE is indeed weak and those guys who are mocking or abusing people just because they tried to offer some suggestion can get out and seek some other forum for flaming. Here we are supposed to give our opinions and ICEFROG MAY consider if it is good enough, so stop abusing/mocking at us just because you are not capable to offer good suggestions.

Add few new hero. New hero pretty much make that release popular. My suggestion to New hero would be some Fire-Giant from hell, having fire specific power like hell-fire aura having constant damage to all enemy near to him in sum particular AOE and fire-storm which summons 3-4 waves of fire in one direction and each wave making sum gud damage. Make him as str hero so give him some pwr/aura to come out of battle in need. and put some ulti like summoning hell god for 15/23/30 sec and dead god should be very strong and player can not control dead god.put some new combo having random effect on time (that will be fun) like amulet of luck, the bonus on aura/ststs should vary on time randomly (like sumtime it is giving 8 attr to all stats or 10 to str and +60 IAS or 15 agi + 50 mov spd and so on....

Ice frog, You should put ur signature in the game. i mean to say after killing two times roshan, then instead of roshan a new demon comes to the map in roshan's place named 'IceFrog' Invinsible in all stats and(an aura factory, no active pwr could cast on him, ALMOSt unconquerable. I think, appearance of roshan two time is enough, 3rd time it should be mush more exciting for players to play.

1. HoT is good now ,it fixes many bugs , and it gives bether balance of item.2.Now u must play Axe with both hands and at least 1 Eye , to kill whole team.3.Dont spam for that sutpid PT , or PB coz it will be remaded , check on internet.4. Stop SPaming here like retards about some stupid thigs.5.Learn to play dota with at least 5 heroes before complaining here.6.Respect all of the above written!

Axe:he's just a powerful hero. everyone is complaiming about him, so I'm almost sure that you'll change him somehow. just keep the main idea of this berserker-kind hero! I love him. as he takes damage, he damages every shit around. and omg what a good tanker.

Power Treads:yah, that was really useful before. no complaimings about this, but just some ideas, like little armor bonus instead of the old atk spd bonus.

Phase Boots:now, this is really what I've been expectin' for this item. it's just perfectly focused on CHASING now! I really like it as it is.

Roshan:wtf guys? nonono, roshan is perfect, just some things like change it's looking to be more ancient-like ;D

Heart of Tarrasque:yah, everyone is complaiming about this one, too... I just don't think it's useless, it keeps giving health and strenght as well. you want some health AND life regen? oh well, make a bloodstone. but an idea would be 40 strenght bonus instead of 35. would give a LITTLE more health and life regen.

Quelling Blade:why is it undroppable? you could make it droppable and reduce a little damage bonus aganist creeps, if that's the case. plus: quelling blade could be a part of a recipe for a new item!

Khadgar's Pipe of Insight:it uses Headdress of Rejuvenation on it's recipe, but don't gives stat bonuses as well. maybe it should be a good idea +2 all stats or 3, increasing the recipe cost.

Magina:there's a single moment when he's blinking that he is invulnerable. that's caused by the delay by casting this spell and doubles him while this occurs. maybe you should fix it or just let it be one more weakness for magina.

Poor Man's Shield:this could be a part of a recipe for a new item! maybe a new shield or a fusion with the quelling blade. this one gives 6 agi bonus and a really nice damage block chance, but can't be comparable to vanguard. I guess it's a little useless, maybe just for late-game.

-fix the heart to the oll heart, or reduce the time regeneration, OR can regenerate less in battle.- the +5 armor of PB was realy necesary for int heros like rhasta or dazzle. or create another boots. - chain (500)- blade fo atack (500)- recipe (??) +9 atak +5 def 65 move speed

- the idea of a secound rosham more powerfull is good, buy only droping 1 aegis.- reduce the cooldown of rhasta wands if he had aganing.- the axe sux :P

Hi IceFrog!I have a ideea :D.Can u make a hero...:GorillaGorilla Punch-2 sec. stun slows 1 sec. and 200 dmg.The Song of Nature-Gorilla summons a ilussion of opponent..Jungle Asasin-2x of dmg. critical strike 15%And the ultimate:The Rage-Gorilla scream and give he's self 50 dmg for 20secs.I think its a good ideea if u can make it i will happy:P!Srry for my bad enligsh

please make a character like a commando, combine sniper and troll abilities, can do primary melee and 2nd range attack, can snipe also, can plant bombs and last can do back stab. this character could be strength type.

pls put the void stone in the top n btm lane shop...pls fix the heart...n traxex r so lame now pls make traxex more strength bcoz in early game traxex is feeding until cannot fat at all,if also trying 2 avoid them but the nukers so easily can kill traxex...

PLS,,return the old tarasque and the old threads and phase...don't change the nice ones..guyz...heart is an amazing item but now he's the useless one...before,necro was undying because of heart with bloodstone but now....zzzz.....ICEFROG should be aware of these..there are lots of people who suggest that heart isn't good now.......
